Chief Executive Officer
Beachside Hospitality Group
Greg Powers has led Beachside Hospitality Group since its inception in 2014, growing it into a statewide restaurant company with 1,200 employees and 15 locations. His career-defining moment came with the opening of their second location, doubling responsibilities and launching the brand’s expansion across Florida’s coastlines.
He’s faced hurricanes, acquisitions and the day-to-day unpredictability of the hospitality world, but credits his resilience to empathy, adaptability and decisive leadership. “There’s no blueprint for disaster recovery, you lead with heart and hustle,” he says.
Under Powers’ leadership, BHG has donated more than $250,000 to nonprofits, launched a campaign supporting 175 teachers and raised thousands for employees facing personal crises.
